That reminds me, pick up an IR filter element for my hipster coat button cam...

So to summarize, you (or the hypothetical "you") are not worried that someone would covertly record you without your knowledge, but you are worried that someone with a casual camera will point it at you with only the slightest possible chance of intending to attempt to capture images/video of you? If Google Glass (or just about any other casual camera) were constantly recording/uploading, its tiny battery would wither in minutes. To perform surveillance with it would require dedicated effort, much like the aforementioned hidden cameras. However, the distinction is apparently lost on you in an attempt at privacy-posturing as a replacement for actual privacy.

This has an obvious flaw... It's easy to spot cameras that are *in plain sight* however there are plenty of presently available technologies that completely conceal cameras from view, making this irrelevant to someone really intent on snooping your private information (or posting about you on facebook/google+/etc). Sadly there is no supremely high-tech activity at work in this patent like sending out a flash and scanning for feedback from lenses, instead it is basically an automated anti-glasshole ready to punch anyone who is idly passing by with a recording device, but will completely miss the person with a hidden camera recording them for some time from arms length.

Something is terribly broken at that school... From TFA:

The incident happened in direct contact with one of the boy's teachers. The teacher failed to control the classroom, failed to discipline the antagonists, and apparently failed to report the incident to the administration (wonder why). The boy's only hope is to get the hell out of there, his teacher (and probably most of the administration) is disturbingly incompetent.

When deciding on an app there are only so many variables that come in to play that can allow someone to compare apps:
1. Number of downloads
2. Average review
3. Specific feature list
4. Price
5. "Editor's choice", top search ranking, "top apps" chart, etc

How each are weighted, in which ecosystems, and by demographic would start to expose where the knowledge gap lies and how to close it. Since you sound more like you are interested in a thesis to solve the problem, you should start from the problem and work backward. You need to know what drives purchase decisions before you hope to influence them.

You only fork when you want to put distance between the original; there is nothing stopping them from making changes/"improvements" to the original OpenSSL project except for scope constraint (i.e. if they just want OpenBSD to be secure) or ego. Either one stinks of selfishness. I cant criticize them directly since they are still doing all of their work for "free" and are publishing it freely, but it has to be pointed out that they are choosing the greater of two evils.

It might be beneficial to claim to not have a lot of knowledge in your head though, since zombies (per common folklore) prefer higher quality brains and therefore acting like an idiot who cant remember a short set of numbers *essential to almost all of math* might be a good survival tactic.

In the case of the "zombie apocalypse" the commonly held belief is that a communicable disease (possibly man-made) turns a normal person into a zombie without them dying first, and is then spread via contact/biting/etc so that a significant part of the population is a zombie. In that scenario zombies are near-dead (at least their cerebral cortex); dead bodies turning into zombies are part of Vodou beliefs and since there arent that many Vodou followers it is not likely that a zombie apocalypse will come to pass as a result of that particular method.

Hahahahahahaha there aren't enough +1s in all of youtube to express how cool that is...

If that's the issue then why wouldn't you (serious question, not asking rhetorically i promise) gin up a Turk quiz about how app markets are perceived and participated in? It seems like you already knew the answer to "does anyone know about all these cool parking spot apps?" so just get on with the bigger question. The one I have spent a lot of time pondering (non-scientifically) is what could an app store possibly offer by having >1,000,000 apps? Or even >500,000 apps?

At some point ( i would guess its somewhere down around the 10,000 mark) there has to be a diminishing return on the quality of the apps in the store, and I absolutely never understood why advertising "our store has a zillion apps! yay us! come buy our shiny! pick from a zillion apps, like you will ever have a chance to try even a tenth of a percent of them!!!" was ever thought of as effective.

instead of make procrastinate, for your next appointment you should try make clean; make depmod; make procrastinate; make install; make clean. Its way more efficient.

Agreed, "Ladies Night" has indeed been found to be illegal in most jurisdictions that have heard serious cases regarding it.

There is a quantifiable distinction between an employer (someone offering compensation in exchange for labor in any number of quid pro quo arrangements), a public accommodation (like public drinking fountains, public schools, etc) and a private group like a yoga studio or country club. This article should clear things up for you: http://blogs.findlaw.com/tarni...

Oops almost forgot:
What you point out is entirely about private property law and not at all about discrimination. Show me a private establishment that allows only one specific gender to access the bathroom without paying while denying the other...

I suppose i should have been more clear, the gender specific participants are not compensated solely for their participation, i.e. being a Boy Scout is not a job in the same way that being a Northwestern football player is (ha! i beat you to that one).

Golf clap.
